Lines/Colors/3D Sludge Viper

Sludge Viper was 1991's thematic follow-up to Toxo Viper.

This is one of the figures that I enjoyed making art of because it really introduced me to the design. Sure, I own the figure, but I bought it as a grown up because it came from the '88-ARAH end of line run, so I didn't have much exposure to it other than checking it off a list.

So many details are on some figures that really deserved to be painted. In this case, there are buttons on Sludge Viper's gear that weren't picked out, so I fixed that in the artwork.

Love it! He was one of my favorite figures growing up, was a big fan of all of the Eco Warriors and Cesspool?s guys so awesome to see you tackling them.

Great job on his helmet, uniform and gear. Really like your decision to make the lights and features stand out more by coloring them differently than the original figure. Definitely gives it a little something extra and really does improve his look.

Thanks as always for the comments, guys.

It's fun to find the details Hasbro ignored by leaving them unpainted.
